Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line.

Roger Modjeski never once advertised in Stereophile, yet his RM-200 amplifier has been in the Class A Tube category for twenty years (it's Fremer's reference "affordable" tube amp). AND, since Roger's passing a few years ago has not been available new. 

@bdp24 right on…i wonder what he up to now… Burning Amp - Angel Edition

I have always wondered which was first, the high rating or the full page ad.  I feel there are many components on that list that are not advertising in the magazine.  But there are many that are.  I guess its still down to Trust but verify.  Just have to verify through all the weeds out there online.

Hi, I love their annual report. I use it to buy all my stereo stuff. If they like it and I can afford it I buy it. I got my KEF LS50's and Outlaw HD FM receiver because they said they were good bang for the buck. Regards.

As too were the Quicksilver Monoblock's of Sam Tellig’s
